    Not really a fan of rugby. But

    England beat the convicts. Ho hum. Again.


    But New Zealand v Wales. What a ****ing game.

    Mental. ****ing brilliant.

    Say wot you want. But on int levels rugby is the bollox. Makes a change from the gay footy players.

    Fantastic.

    Can't stand Rugby.

    Incredible effort and support for what is essentially a ****ing boring sport.

    I love football but yeah it can be boring to watch. Unless it's a great game or a Sunderland match I'll probably be browsing the internet on my phone on and off.

    It doesn't help that I look at most footballers with a mix of envy and contempt these days. Rugby players are less annoying but I very rarely watch a game.

    I watch a lot of rugby. Go to a few games every season. I think its an amazing game! Football will always be my first love but rugby is fantastic. The skill is less obvious than football but it can be equally spectacular (google Brian O'Driscoll's pass to himself) (IMOOC). The commitment from rugby players is better than footballers and you see them take big hits or get really smashed and they take it, not roll on the floor crying.

    I'd much rather watch the English rugby team than the English footy team.

    Was part watching the england/aussie game. It was ok, but nz/wales was superb. Im not that much of a rugby fan but can watch it. That game certainly kept me glued to the screen.

    Rugby refs are brilliant.
